Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly is an Internationally Acclaimed Motivational Speaker and authority on entrepreneurship, leadership, sales, creativity and personal excellence. He is passionate about unleashing the potential of people and organisations.

Kevin is also the creator of the concept “Xceptionalize” which challenges individuals and organisations to focus on exceptional execution of their duties on an ongoing basis.

Born into a small family retail business, Kevin has been selling and negotiating from a very young age. After graduating with a Commerce degree in 1987, he proceeded to break sales record in each of the companies he worked for. Over the past two decades, he has keynoted at events around the world including the Middle East, Far East, Europe and the US.

In the current “attention deficit society,” one of the greatest challenges for a speaker is engaging the audience. Most people’s attention spans are short and Kevin strives to connect with every member of the audience. High levels of engagement are achieved through a unique interactive cocktail of exercises, stories, the most up to date research and original content.

His stories are based on his unique experiences around the world, inside and outside corporate corridors. From challenging himself to write a Best Seller even though limited by a poor grade in English, to going from high income to low income and back when he decided to follow his passion, to breaking sales records in many companies, to building an International Brand; Kevin more than walks the path of his own philosophies. His publications include his new Business Book “Basics before Buzz,” “Life: A Trip Towards Trust” and the best selling motivational title, “How? When you don’t know how.” In addition, he has produced three motivational CD’s Good Enough – Now go get it; Setting, getting and forgetting Goals and Compelling Communication Strategies.

Kevin has appeared many times on National TV and radio shows in Ireland, UK and the USA. According to research polled amongst his key customers, “Honesty, Integrity and Passion” is what you get when you recruit Kevin.

“I do not like people who talk a lot. Even if it does not seem at first, Kevin Kelly can talk for quite some time. The difference is that his words carry special energy and exquisite meaning. Which is why I could listen to him for hours. I am very thankful to be reminded that small stories have value and do cause big stories in the end.”Conventa

“Kevin Kelly spoke at our Thought Leaders Conference on 16th September 2010, an event hosted by Investec Bank. Kevin has rarely been heard in the UK but is very popular in many parts of the world. He is a motivation speaker par excellence and brings very practical value to our audience of CEO’s. ‘Basics before Buzz’ which was his subject, did exactly what was on the tin and I would recommend Kevin to any organisation that wishes to exceptionalise their service and retain their customers.”The Academy for Chief Executives
